Melbourne may still be in lockdown. But some of its most iconic landmarks – @AAMIPark, @cityofmelbourne Town Hall, Flinders St Station and Bolte Bridge – are still lit up in brilliant purple on @OverdoseDay to honour our lost loved ones, and recognise those living with the loss.

Great new episode with prof @MargaretHellard. A must listen for all public health professionals 🎧 @BurnetInstitute @CrabbBrendan @tracyparish63

We spoke with @ProfJohnDillon from @dundeeuni @NHSTayside to discuss how his team became the first region in the world to effectively eliminate #hepatitisC.⁠ ⁠ inhsu.org/articles/meet-… #HCV #Hepc

Good news! Recent legal changes in Victoria mean it is no longer a crime for community members to pass on sterile needles and syringes. It's been illegal even though it's impt to avoid hep C & HIV.

Today we launched the first part of our 2021 Annual Report of Trends in Behaviour, focusing on #hepatitisB + #hepatitisC highlighting our contribution to 4 key issues: 1. need for more research on hepatitis B, esp. social + cultural knowledge + settings of affected communities

Australia can achieve @WHO target to eliminate #hepC as public health threat. First, we must find thousands who are unaware of their infection 🔎 and get them treated. To reach priority populations we need creative strategies and partnerships. #HepCantWait #WorldHepatitisDay

"If 2 billionaires had raced to eliminate diseases, one chose #hepB and one chose #hepC, imagine where we'd be," @MargaretHellard says 🚀 should be launched in the direction of hepatitis elimination in closing remarks for our #WorldHepatitisDay symposium. Thanks all who attended!
